Its my first time growing and want to do it indoor, using my closet (wardrobe), what do i need just for one plant? Ive chosen to use a CFL light as it seems to be the cheapest option.

Im open to all sugestions :-o

42 watt for the top and I'd say about 6 27w cfl's for the sides...remember ventilation and heat. Use 6500k For veg and 2700K color spectrum for flower...

balast? If you live in the US go to home depot and buy the 10$ clamp on light reflector that comes with a cord, socket, 10inch bowl reflector and clamp.

No prob bro. Check out the new post in indoor cfl gardening about making a 6 light balast out of a powerstrip.
